The first venue in Estonia to adopt EAW’s ADAPTive loudspeaker technology, the Estonian Traditional Music Center has partnered with Heliart OÜ to install an AC6 ADAPTive sound system. As a hub for cultural and live performances, the centre needed a sound solution that would accommodate diverse events, ranging from traditional folk festivals to international acts, as well as being suited to the venue’s audience experience.
With a sleek design and efficient vertical coverage, the system provides clear sightlines for balcony audience members and improves the overall aesthetic of the stage.
‘Positioned in a left and right configuration with two loudspeakers per side, the EAW system makes the stage look wider and more open, greatly benefiting the overall experience for the audience,’ says Priit Kivimägi from Heliart OÜ.
EAW’s ADAPTive technology allows changes to sound coverage in a space to be made without having to physically adjust the loudspeakers. ‘The system permits the Center to adjust the audio settings according to the performance type – whether on stage or interacting with the audience on the floor,’ explains Kivimägi.
The installation also features the EAW SBX Series Subwoofers to provide rich bass. ‘Together, these components deliver unparalleled audio clarity and consistency across all events,’ adds Kivimägi.
With the installation complete, the Estonian Traditional Music Center is now able to provide a listening experience that meets the requirements of both traditional and contemporary performances. ‘The system allows for uniform coverage of the audience area, in regard to both the SPL and frequency response,’ Kivimägi says. ‘An additional benefit of AC6 is that it provides phase coherent spacious sound image due to its single acoustic source design. Guest engineers have said that the system is a significant upgrade, and they are also all fans of the SBX118 subs.’
Heliart OÜ is a long-standing EAW distributor and continues to employs the brand’s products for a variety of applications. ‘EAW has a versatile product line that fits our market,’ says Kivimägi. ‘We can use AC6 for mobile events or permanent installations and the sound is incredible in addition to the feature package it offers.’
